Valérie Zenatti
Throughout this month-long residence, Zenatti led students on a literary journey around the theme of the encounter - more specifically the absence of encounters, echoing spring 2020 when students, like the rest of the country, where mandated to stay home.
Students recorded their written works to present to their parents during a final presentation which concluded the residency.
